So MoH mp is just a reskinned BC2 and now we're going to get another BC2 console clone with a different numerical suffix.
 
Welcome back EA.

" Good, hopefully this will force some proper streamlining into BF3 and make it a properly enjoyable, modern game.   And to all the PC gamers screaming in rage at the death of their beloved-so-much-they-decided-to-pirate-it,series of games, calm yourselves. There's a difference between dumbing down and streamlining. The fact that this game must actually have some economy to its control scheme in no way makes it a worse game.  And can someone explain to me why exactly a console game must be any less "epic" than a PC game? It's not hardware specs, given that the PC specs can only be so high before they alienate a large part of the already small PC market. "

Are people still whining about this?! OK.. EA made the decision probably because on how successful Bad Company has been on consoles.  Face it, consoles is the way to go for most people..so why the hell would they want to throw that opportunity away just because a few thousand PC gamers are bitching about it.

So keep whining and groaning on this topic because to be honest I don't think they give a shit. I love PC games, and I have all the battlefield games on the PC but all this fanboy nonsense is pretty stupid.  

This article should have went through another editing process.
 
He says "...meaning that Battlefield 3 is probably coming to consoles as well as the PC" and then it is confirmed that beta invites are going to all the consoles and PC later in the article. There is no need for assumptions when the fact is already there.

I will be getting this for PC. Flying jets under bridges......oh BF2 how I miss you. 

wonder if we'll see the return of friendly fire always toggled on like in bf2.
 the more annoying recon players to C4 [who are too busy focusing on padding their k/d ratio] the better.

" @empfeix said:

A PC game exclusive on a large scale was just released....not only that but it will outsell almost all console games even multiplatform ones.  Kind of a bad time to throw this tired argument out there. "

 That pc exclusive you're referring to is an rts. It's genre that belongs on the pc due to technical limitations on cosoles. That's not really an issue with fps games. All I'm saying is that rts and fps isn't a good comparison in this situation. "

Even when FPS games are ported it never will be what a PC exclusive will. Thanks for the non-dedicated servers Activision... I love playing my PC like an Xbox. "

" Nooooo! If BF3 is gimped to for a multiplatform release I will be saying my final goodbyes to the franchise.  Secondly I will not be picking up a copy of Medal of Honor, period. I will find some other way into the Beta... unless it's not a PC exclusive like I already said.  As far as I'm concerned 2142 is the true sequel to BF2. "

Take a drink every time you read "proper"

YES!!!

Uh oh.. Multiplatform BF3, this could go bad. I really hope they build this for the PC then port and water, what they have too.

Damn, I haven't played Battlefield 2 in so long. What an amazing game.
 
A 360 version of BF 3 would be great, although I'm pretty sure I'll have no problem convincing myself to upgrade my PC whenever it comes out.

This was the last straw....
 
The FPS is dead.

" @Rox360:  the thousands compared to how many copies sold of bf2??? (and i doubt it was consistant cause himachi is NEVER consistent (very low user base) "

God I miss BF2.

I just wish somebody in corporate America would make decisions to ensure the quality of the product.... instead of exclusively seeking out maximum profits.

I have never understood elitist pc gamers. 

Don't you guys understand that more people own consoles.. than Computers capable of playing games like Battlefield?
I've played most Previous Battlefield games, and I know they are better on PC, but I refuse to pay a Grand for a computer that will play new games for a few months, when I can pay much less for a Console that can play every single game available for it.

" I really wish BF2 had native widescreen support - I would reinstall it today if that were the case. I miss infantry matches on Karkand and Jalalabad, piloting the Havok and raping the HQ on Sharqi Peninsula, and late night jet battles over the Daqing oilfields. :( "

Multiplatform = more money for devs 

Many posters have stated this already but I'll say this again. Please try to understand that the BC game is not the same as the BF gameplay and that's why many posters are upset about BF3 going multi platform. The BC maps are more confined, the scale isn't the same and there aren't as many vehicles. BF2 and 2142 had 3 different sizes (16, 32, 64) for the same map (not for all maps though) and the BC gameplay is comparable the 16 player map experience, in my opinion.
 
Why BC2 is released on PC is probably because PC gamers felt left out when BC was console exclusive and they haven't released any BF game on PC since 2142 (2006), not counting Heroes. 
  
They haven't said anything yet but I'll join in with the choir singing.. if BF3 is really just BC3 then I'm really disappointed. If is a true sequel to BF2/2142 then I'm really stoked and I'll pre-order it as soon as possible (and then cancel my pre-order and pre-order it on Steam when it's available.)

I hope it has all the classes that BF2 has + the amazing parachute

Hmm, i don't think i will be picking up MoH, put this offer sure makes it tempting

Ummm? YES! BF3!

it's very simple.......DICE is making more money with Bad Company 2 (because it's multi-platform) than they did with Battlefield 2.  I would be SHOCKED if BF2 didn't come out on consoles.  It's the way it is nowadays, and PC players will always have bigger battles than console, but that doesn't mean console players should be locked out.  Spread the love DICE!!!

Ive only really played BFBC... I'll deffo wanna try this when its out :D

Never gotten into Battlefield, maybe I'll try getting into Battlefield 2, all I have heard is universal praise, but Medal of Honor doesn't interest me enough for me to purchase the limited edition, standard edition maybe.

I am probably going to get this game either way, but I may preorder it now. Its my prerogative.

Still won't make me buy the limited edition of MOH.

Any news about BF 3 is good news.

Makes me wonder why anyone plays beta anyway

I never played Battlefield 2 but I would be willing to take a stab at the Beta for 3, MOH is a no buy for me though.

Better not dissapoint.

what the what?

Yay for BF3, but I still don't know how I feel about Medal of Honor yet.

I hope that there will be other ways to get into the Beta than buying the new Medal of Honor game.

As if we didn't have enough FPS...

Ugh, now I have to consider actually gettin MoH.

I'm so excited for Battlefield 3 - I absolutely loved BF" (esp infantry only on Jalalabad and Karkland!)

So with Battlefield 3, is there more vehicles and a larger player count then the Bad Company games?
